Rust Bullet - Automotive

Tested and Proven to be the best. Nothing on the market compares. We are Focused on providing products that are safe for the environment, without losing quality. Although all Rust Bullet Coatings can be brushed or rolled, our Automotive Formula contains more metal and is a bit thinner than our Industrial Formula. This allows for an easy application with HVLP spray equipment and provides a smoother finish usually desired for automotive projects.

    Great Product - Use as directed
    5 Stars
    Great Product - Use as directed
    Notes:-urethane-based product - you'll need acetone to clean brushes for multiple uses-good coverage, but plan on two coats (because little pit-spots that must be sealed to arrest not just slow rust)-dries pretty damn hard, so not advisable to put on small nuts and bolts and probably not even large suspension nuts, either. two coats reduced chipping off.The top on my can was weak tea. Had to bend to open first time and peel back with strong needle-nose pliers. The can above is from after the third reseal - avoid getting the product on the rim, as it will dried hard as a sealer.

    I didn't use this for a while, I'm going to write this review on one I purchased 6 months ago. First, it seems to stay like new over time as long as you don't open it. This stuff is Awesome, and this small container goes pretty far as to cover rust in many places. If you don't use the whole container, and you re-seat the cap, You might find it has pressure that will push the cap up. Weird issue, But I put large washer on top and bottom, and then used a C-clamp to hold it down. The cap then was stuck down so hard, you almost have to rip it off destroying the cap. Ok, 2 uses.. That's still great. My second bottle I didn't push the cap all the way down, and put silicon bead around the whole top which I believe I can peel off on my second use. Just a FYI, Figure out a good way to keep the cap on so you can use it 2-3 times. The stuff drys like a nice epoxy coat, I purchased 4 so far, and will cover every rust spot under my Jeep and Ram. I'm a Believer. If you are not familiar with rust coating products, this is one that I would recommend to ALL my friends.

    4.0 out of 5 stars My Experience with Rust Bullet
    Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2016
    Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
    I used this stuff on the rusty floorboards of my 76 GMC Pickup. I went through a learning curve as it is a very unique product. I read all the instructions. One thing I had to deal with not in the instructions was the sweltering heat and humidity we've been having lately here in East Tennessee. The product is ideal for rusty surfaces. The first coat soaks in the metal and actually strengthens it, so by the time you put on the second coat you've got a thicker sealed rust resistant piece of metal. I gave it a 4 star for 2 reasons, the price seems to be somewhat expensive compared to all the rust converters and primers, second the product itself, it has a short shelf life. I had some repairs to make before the main job and had trouble later on getting the lid off the can as this stuff acted like glue and almost bonded the lid on. I wound up pouring it into plastic containers with screw caps like vitamins would come in & even then it started to get hard and thick on top, so I wound up putting plastic wrap under the lid, putting the lid on tight and keeping it in the refrigerator. So I would recommend using it another time of the year when it's not so sweltering. So it's best to just open the can and use it immediately for your project. I should have ordered a smaller can to make the repairs before opening the main container. The first time I made the mistake of not wearing gloves & it took several days for it to come off & you've got to be careful to not get it on your car seats, etc so cover stuff with plastic or a tarp etc.. I would use some kind of solvent like acetone to clean drips up etc. This stuff seems to really bond to metal as a drop got on a pair of scissors and would not come off. So I think this is an ideal product for some projects like restoring an old rusty car or some metal objects exposed outdoors to the elements.

    5.0 out of 5 stars I really like this stuff!!
    Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2021
    Size: 1 Quart (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
    This is an outstanding product! 1 quart allowed me to paint my entire interior including roof, as well as my entire trunk. I had enough to do 2 coats. This is on a 1969 cutlass, so it’s a pretty big car. I don’t paint much but the Rust Bullet applied so easily that I’m not sure how you could goof this up, the final result was great. I really love the look!

    It’s best to apply 2nd coat while paint is still tacky, therefore it made it a little bit difficult the second time around.

    I decided to apply a top coat because I was stuck on the glossy black look, similar to por-15. I ended up using rustoleum from the big box store as its cheap and has good results. Again having to apply the 2 coats while tacky was a challenge.

    While it ended up coming out the way I envisioned, if I could go back I would have left the rust bullet as is. It says you don’t need a top coat and it looked so clean and the paint was so level that top coat really wasn’t necessary. My plan was to cover everything in Dynamat, so I’m not going to see it, just felt the topcoat was an added layer of protection from rust.

    As far as durability time will tell, I just applied this last month. I did not have a lot of rust to begin with, and with it covered by Dynamat I won’t know for sure unless I decide to remove it at some point.

    Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
    I love this product. I had no trouble whatsoever in opening the can. It comes with three little metal clips on the lid that you have to pry off. I used a small flathead screwdriver. After that, I just pried open the lid like any can of paint. Totally easy.
    I used this stuff to paint some rusty places underneath my car. (Be sure NOT to shake the can to mix the paint! Stir it with a popsicle stick, or whatever.) Painted one coat and waited overnight. I am impressed at how good it looks, with just one coat. I painted over some pretty bad rusty spots, and it adhered really well. Looks great actually. A bonus is that the color is almost identical to the color of my car. My only wish is that I had known how well it covers. I should have gotten the 4 ounce can. But since I have the large can, I plan to paint everything rusty under the can that I can reach, and give it all numerous coats. Even so, I will have alot left over. But, it is worth the $35 I paid, just to get everything done. With 5 or 6 coats, this stuff should be bullet proof, if the first coat is any indication. I live in Maine, so we will see how well the paint holds up under a Maine winter and the major road salt we live with. For now, I'm very happy with the product.

    Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2023
    Size: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
    I have been using this product for years. It works terrific as all the other positive reviews here have stated. My only big "ask" is that it be sold also in a little automotive touch-up container with a brush cap like Dupli-Color paint. This works great on small nicks and scrapes, especially if you have a silver grey car or wheels -- where it blends in so well you may not even need a color-match topcoat. PLEASE PLEASE offer this in a touch up size. The 1/4-pint paint cans are almost impossible to re-open after a few months as the solvent base is very 'sticky' and makes re-opening the container almost impossible.
